… and, when he finally stopped vibrating—and started toppling now like a skyscraper built on bribery will when the Richter scale hits nine, then hitting the ground himself like he’d become its latest tremor—I’d wondered, why on earth did he have a need to take it to these extremes?

when constructing structures
from the bottom usque ad coelum
you gotta lay out a few lines
before quill & ink touches vellum
read a few signs
explore oddities
like kindness & love
those precious commodities
there ain't enough of
that come & go quietly
like the flight of a dove

I knew you'd never let it go.
Silence, then a tremble,
then determined grilling,
one question after another.
You're keen to know, to pry.
You turn over each answer
and poke sticks in the cracks
of the quiet creature's shell.
We were all skyscrapers,
dwarfed by giants.

Having seen photos of skyline
From your point of view
In summer blues winter grays
I wonder what it would be like
There is pavement in
every place I've been
Curbs on which to sit
Staring at asphalt under my feet
Is your place different somehow
Because you are there
Because my heart

The old house,
nestled in
abandoned countryside,
wildness springing up
where people left,
inhabiting the space
with it's beautiful
overgrowth
& we, the voyeurs
of it's wild wonders—
like that magic
evening hour
when bats fly free
from under rafters
such privilage
we have
to witness
nature's gifts.

The Arborvitae moves mysteriously
As my heart splutters to itself;
Freeing myself from blankets,
I shamble to the bay window,
for relief and to see what stirs:
Sparrows shuttling in and out
with old grass, leaves, and sticks,
weaving a nest-- as our ancestors did once.

Encapsulated droplets of layered crystals.. a significance w/o void.
Organically collaborating in puffy clouds of gases & elements, suspended with dust pieces & parts.
All bringing attention to the gaze.. No where else to be but right here.

Darting out of a darkened crevice, she moved from one shadow to the next, like a moth haphazardly flying in a forest. It was how they searched through the concrete rubble, never worrying about what was, only about what they might find.

I dream of marble halls
Dully gleaming, white and rose
Tiles on the floor, the walls
Bare too, a place without repose.
Each step reverberates
The clatter fills my mind
With fear that something waits
Something I'd as soon not find.
